1. if everything seems to be working perfectly, something bad is about to happen.
2. if you think something might be amiss, never pass up good pavement.
not really aviation related but some good ones from a Marine Colonel:
be friendly to every person you come across, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice, ammo is cheap.
if you aren't good at shooting, you better be communicating or reloading for your buddies.
it is no coincidence that there are 24 hours in a day and 24 beers in a case.

the three most useless things in aviation:
- runway behind you
- altitude above you
- fuel in the truck
suppose the altitude one could be argued, for collisions and stuff, but you get the point. and this one was touched on, but i like my CFI's wording better: "the plane is your b!tch. make it your b!tch!"

...or a two-above flight depending on which sim guy you flew with in k-rock.
-no fast hands in the cockpit
-slow is smooth, smooth is fast
-always be aware of what your hands are doing
-respect the jet
4 things, that despite already knowing, I have to re-emphasize over and over in the Harrier.
Commencing January, 1920 United States of America War Office Regulations For Operation of Aircraft
1. Don't take the machine into the air unless you are satisfied it will fly.
2. Never leave the ground with the motor leaking.
3. Don't turn sharply when taxiing. Instead of turning sharp, have someone lift the tail around.
4. In taking off, look at the ground and the air.
5. Never get out of a machine with the motor running until the pilot relieving you can reach the controls.
6. Pilots should carry hankies in a handy position to wipe off goggles.
7. Riding on the steps, wings or tail of a machine is prohibited.
8. In case the engine fails on takeoff, land straight regardless of obstacles.
9. No machine must taxi faster than a man can walk.
10. Never run motor so that blast will fall on other machines.
11. Learn to gauge altitude, especially on landing.
12. If you see another machine near you, get out of the way.
13. No two cadets should ever ride together in the same machine.
14. Do not trust altitude instruments.
15. Before you begin a landing glide, be sure that no machines are under you.
16. Hedge-hopping will not be tolerated.
17. No spins on back or tail slides will be indulged in as they unnecessarily strain the machines.
18. If flying against the wind and you wish to fly with the wind, don't make a sharp turn near the ground. You may crash.
19. Motors have been known to stop during a long glide. If pilot wishes to use motor for landing, he should open throttle.
20. Don't attempt to force machine onto ground with more than flying speed. The result is bouncing and ricocheting.
21. Pilots will not wear spurs while flying. (My personal favorite)
22. Do not use aeronautical gasoline in cars or motorcycles.
23. You must not take off or land closer than 50 feet to the hangar.
24. Never take a machine into the air until you are familiar with its controls and instruments.
25. If an emergency occurs while flying, land as soon as possible.

Here's one when I was a student in the HTs doing early full autorotation practice...
Me: "Attitude, Nr, Ball....Pull, pause, level......" (as I do nothing I am saying)
IP: "Jesus Christ, I have the controls......" (as we are racing towards the ground)
IP: "What the f*ck is wrong with you?"
the latter 2 being things said by IPs often....
